We here at SkiBikeFun.com are long time
advocates of Hanson Products. Second to none in their class. What we did
here was mount up a set of Lamar children's 105cm snowboards for powder
riding on those deep days. We really did not know what to expect. We
flipped a coin to see who was going first.
We demoed these boards 1 day on a 12-18"
powder drop at Telluride in Telluride Colorado at the end of the 05/06
season. We mounted them up to a new 06 Yeti frame with Marzocchi Bomber
forks. It was a bit scary to say the least on the hard packed areas.
Just trying to handle a set of boards this size take a bit of effort in
itself. With that said as soon as we pointed it towards the edges of the
run for the 12-18" of fresh powder and entered the edges, the ride
became magical! Unlike the hard pack and groomed stuff, it suddenly got
very quiet with only the faint rushing of these monster boards on the
fresh powder. They handled and carved like butter in the deep fluffy
stuff. We were very surprised at the flotation they afforded as well as
requiring almost no effort to maneuver them in the deep powder. After
having to go into a coin toss to see who was going to ride it first, we
had a hard time getting the bike and these boards back to its builder
and project coordinator. We are very glad they offered them up for
consignment here at SkiBikeFun.com to offer our customers.
These boards are not for every day
ridding obviously but, if you are looking for some boards that are able
to float you in the deepest of powder and promise a truly mystic ride on
those days you have found the right set of boards! |
